So I'm thinking about how fun it would be to do a DIY nitrous kit and I'm wondering if any nitrous guru's see a problem with what I want to do.

Ideally I'd like to go with a zex type kit because it controls the hole ----, so my plan is to get a 10 lb fire extinguisher and start from there. For the control ---- I'll probably use an rpm window switch. The lines are a no brainer, and then all I'd really need is solenoids.


Any of you guys know of any problems with a setup like this? We haven't had a nitrous thread in a while, so lets get some info up.

 

If you already haven't seen it...

I have seen that site. That guy is a nutbag, but it has alot of information. I'm trying to get some people who have done ---- like this to tell us what they've done before.

 

I don't have any suggestions or advice, but I might just want to do a DIY nitrous kit now too. looks like fun.

You could always do this. http://www.geocities.com/calgarycivics/NOS.html :P

 

No way! You didn't actually try that did you? I would be really pissed if I got whipped cream in my motor...

 

BTW, what about Cheese in a Can? Does anybody know if they have NO2 in it?

 

haha, in stock market news, Reddi Whip is up 5000 points.




I've got a revolutionary design I thought up, I really think its gonna work great.

 

lol.

 

you might run into problems getting that fire extinguisher filled. i've seen some hardcore redneck off road shops that do nitrous fills; that might be your ticket. what kind of pressure are those things rated for?

most bottle valves and solenoids take a -4 fitting

an rpm window switch in conjunction with a WOT/microswitch is the BEST to activate everything.

stay away from teflon tape, use teflon paste to seal everything up, should be good to go.

i'm kind of a nitrous nut, so post up any questions you might have, maybe i can send you in the right direction.

 

I don't have any direct questions. I was looking at nitrous kit options for my car (scheduled to be completed in 2009) and I thought we should have a good thread about different ways of setting up cheap nitrous kits. Maybe more for the archives than anything.
